SEPTA Underground Concourse Map

Speaking of things that are old, I just today came across this map of the Center City underground concourses, which is where Kevin Bacon was born or something. Pretty neat, especially since it’s based off an old map in one of the concourses that was covered up for a while. There are bigger versions over here.

It’s always fun to spot old SEPTA maps while waiting in vain for the train to appear on time. (My favorite is the ad at the 15th Street EL stop that shows the skyline with City Hall as the tallest building; there’s also a PATCO sign that directs people to JFK Stadium.) Of course, sometimes they might not be quite as helpful, such as the maps at the airport SEPTA Watch noticed. Gee, do you think they’ll ever finish the Marriott?

Leftovers: Philadelphia, Somewhere In The USA

• Behold, the Action News graphic for the Pier 34 murder trial. Yes, we Philadelphians are now too stupid to even know where the hell we are if the TV news doesn’t point it out to us. [6 ABC]

• You can all stop sending me this story about the stolen puppy. First off, I’m sure it’s a fine pup, but it’s not nearly cute enough for me to steal. Second off, I was in a different part of Egg Harbor City that night. [NBC 10]

• Gay Marriage is unlikely in Jersey, as the legislators are likely to simply pass civil union laws instead. Sez an anti-civil union state senator in need of some rephrasing: “If all of a sudden we deemed that a white man that marries a black woman would be denied benefits, that’s equal protection.” [Press of AC]

• Curt Weldon earmarked money to the company whose director bought Terrell Owens’ NFC Championship ring. Heh. [Inquirer]
